Lighter Latkes
Healthy Holiday Recipe

Keep the tradition, but not the fat and calories, by baking them. The potato pancakes, or latkes, eaten during Hanukkah are usually fried in oil.

Ingredients and instructions:
Prepare your favorite recipe, but substitute one egg white for each of the whole eggs.

Be sure to use baking potatoes instead of boiling potatoes.

Brush a baking sheet with a scant teaspoon of oil.

Drop the latke batter onto the sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.

Turn and bake 6 minutes longer or until crisp.

Note:
Fresh homemade applesauce spiced with fragrant ground cinnamon makes the perfect side dish.
